Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 243 The Butterfly Effect
After hanging up the phone, Dong Chengjie pondered for a while in the office.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for the renewal of Liu's contract. After all, Liu was a veteran of the IG club, and now he was just renewing his relationship with his former boss.
Even strictly speaking, he is not considered the "former boss". After all, Xiaorenren Media itself also has shares in Wang Xuelong.
When Huchi platform signed Liu, he was just a little-known name. He gradually ascended to the "altar" on the Huchi platform. Not only did he become the number one on Huchi, he was also a well-deserved leader in the entire live streaming industry.
During this process, Liu was certainly a beneficiary, but the Huchi platform also benefited greatly. It can only be said that they achieved mutual success.
Although I know that it is highly unlikely, but as a human being, I always want to make one last attempt, just in case it works.
He did not give up until reality completely extinguished his lucky mentality. Fortunately, as the helmsman of the Huchi platform, Dong Chengjie had made preparations for both scenarios.
The process of Liu's growth into a top figure on the HuChi platform has also brought a lot of traffic to the HuChi platform. Even if Liu leaves for other platforms, it is not certain that he can take all of his audience with him.
After all, the audience of any anchor cannot be composed entirely of active hardcore fans. "Silent passers-by" will always account for the majority.
They do not favor any particular anchor, they watch live broadcasts purely for fun, coming and going with the excitement, enjoying the happiness of "flipping a card" and are too lazy to even interact.
This silent majority is often the basic base of a platform. Due to user habits, they will not change platforms at will and prefer to use the platform they are familiar with.
As long as the platform's basic foundation is stable, the replacement of top anchors will not cause a fatal crisis to the platform. It is just like a pyramid structure. If the top of the pyramid is gone, just replace it with another one, or let the people below take over.
As the big brother of the live streaming industry, Huchi platform still has a very solid foundation, especially in terms of its ability to generate revenue. Most of the veteran anchors in the live streaming industry today have some connection with it.
It can be said that he single-handedly supports half of the live broadcast industry!
However, the times are changing too fast, and the live streaming industry is changing with each passing day. If the Huchi platform just stands still and lives off its resources, the big brother's resources will be exhausted sooner or later.
Fortunately, Dong Chengjie prepared for the future and relied on the winning "celebrity spokesperson" to stabilize the situation a little. However, if he wants to fight this protracted battle well, he has to learn from others.
"It's not a big deal to be poached all the time. It seems like everyone knows how to poach." Dong Chengjie muttered to himself. They always keep an eye on my family to get the wool, right? Then let's all get the wool together and see who can get more than the other.
"Call each department to hold a meeting to discuss the next strategy for the platform." Dong Chengjie, who had learned his lesson, gave some instructions and prepared to hold a meeting to brainstorm.
…
On the other hand, Zhou Dongsheng also brought the good news to Principal Wang. When Principal Wang heard it, his depressed mood after being taught a lesson by the Shark Platform was swept away and he became in a good mood.
Although it cannot be considered as timely help, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent problem. After all, Principal Wang has high hopes for the Panda platform, and the lineup of anchors for the official public beta should be as luxurious as possible.
"It just so happens that Liu has filled in Dazhi's vacancy. The position of the number one on the Panda platform will be kept within the family." Principal Wang said with a smile.
Since a huge amount of money has been spent, the publicity must of course keep up. The publicity resources originally intended for Dazhi had to be used on Liu because of contract problems.
After all, it is impossible for the Panda platform to delay its launch for one or two months just for Dazhi, even though the Panda platform has already negotiated with many game anchors.
However, in the current live broadcast industry, top-tier game anchors like Dazhi and Liu are hot and scarce resources.
Even though Principal Wang is rich, he can't buy it whenever he wants. Even the Dazhi he got was blocked by the Shark platform due to contract issues. If he breached the contract forcibly, he would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
No matter how rich Principal Wang is, he can't possibly spend all his money on liquidated damages, right?
Moreover, poaching is a business method that weakens the opponent and strengthens oneself. Giving a large amount of liquidated damages to the opponent would be like aiding the enemy. Principal Wang would never do that.
Therefore, Liu's role was immediately apparent. Although it also cost a lot of money, in comparison, this plug-and-play combat capability is really good.
"It's only been one year since Liu retired from your club, and after many twists and turns, he finally returned to your arms. Congratulations to Principal Wang on renewing our relationship." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
"All this has cost me an extra 200 million yuan, but you got a big bargain." Principal Wang scolded with a smile.
"What luck! Who would have thought that the value of this pig would increase so quickly? But then again, wasn't it you, Principal Wang, who raised the price?"
"So, this wave is a result of one's own actions." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
"Okay, I won't argue with you. The internal testing of the Panda platform has entered the final stage . It is estimated that it will be online next week." Principal Wang casually shared the progress of his platform.
Although the progress seems a bit slow, it is undoubtedly much earlier than the time it took for the Panda platform to be prepared and launched in the previous life.
Perhaps this is also one of the impacts of Zhou Dongsheng, the butterfly. After all, just the top anchors who intercept and take advantage of leaks are enough to bring about certain changes in the landscape of the live broadcast industry.
Moreover, this impact will continue.
"Your principal Wang is coming with such force that the CEOs of other platforms may not be able to sleep well." Zhou Dongsheng continued the conversation.
"So what? You would rather invest in e-commerce or games than in my platform." Principal Wang teased in return.
Afterwards, Principal Wang did not give Zhou Dongsheng a chance to be perfunctory. He left a sentence, "Although you are a very evil boy, let's wait and see. I will use my absolute strength to prove that you, Zhou Dongsheng, can also make mistakes." Then he hung up the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng was speechless and couldn't help muttering, "Are you so vindictive? You're still holding a grudge over such a small matter. Isn't it just winning a sports car from you?"
However, the development of the live broadcast industry is now quite "unrecognizable". Maybe Principal Wang really has a chance to "change his fate"?
After all, there are too many uncertainties in this life. Even " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which once changed the live broadcast landscape, is now in Zhou Dongsheng's hands...
An unchanging future would certainly be more beneficial to Zhou Dongsheng, but from the moment Zhou Dongsheng became a "butterfly", the future could no longer remain unchanged.
The moment Zhou Dongsheng became a "butterfly" did not start from buying the ball for the opening ceremony of the World Cup , but...
When Zhou Dongsheng woke up and found himself back in 2014, it was actually destined.
